House Resolution No. ___, introduced by Representatives N. Nelson and others on June 25, 2025, designates July 27, 2025, as "Dick Allen Day" in Pennsylvania. The resolution honors Richard Anthony Allen, a celebrated athlete born in Wampum, Pennsylvania, who excelled in both baseball and basketball during his high school years. After being signed by the Philadelphia Phillies, Allen faced significant challenges, including discrimination, yet he made a remarkable impact in Major League Baseball (MLB) over a 15-year career. He was recognized for his exceptional talent, earning accolades such as the National League Rookie of the Year Award and the American League Most Valuable Player Award.

The resolution highlights Allen's impressive statistics, including 351 home runs and a .292 batting average, and acknowledges his recent induction into the National Baseball Hall of Fame on December 8, 2024, after a long wait for recognition. The official induction ceremony will take place on July 27, 2025, in Cooperstown, New York, making this date significant for honoring Allen's legacy as a Pennsylvania baseball legend.
